 Great variety of Games April 27, 2008

I enjoy this game very much. It has a wide variety of solitaire games. It reminds me a lot of a PC game I had years ago called 'riverboat solitaire'. This one has all my favorites.

This game is full of different variations of the popular card games of solitaire. I play it all the time and have a ball at it. It's great practice if you're an avid skill games fanatic.

I tried this solitaire collection while waiting to get a copy of "Clubhouse Games." I'm 61; female; never played video games in my life & never have been at all interested. My grown sons guffawed at my Nintendo DS purchase. In my defense, I bought it for Brain Age 1&2.... And then thought it would be perfect for long trans-con flights - - if I could find some "adult" kinds of games that didn't involve blowing up cars or hopping across rivers & avoiding alligators.
I was sure that SO would be the answer. It would have a gazillion different solitaire games! Hot doggies! This would be the entire family of the famous game we all play while on telephone hold, right?
Well, sort of.
This software is just ok.
SO suffers most from lack of instructions, which I feel is important, especially since solitaire games are very similar to each other. I finally got out my Hoyle book and another card game book for instructions on how to play these games!
I'd like to be able to search by game type, but this does not appear to be possible, despite the "search" feature.
"Slider" down R side of screen is so sensitive as to be almost uncontrollable. (If you hate shopping carts that won't steer, you'll hate this failure, too!)
Positives: User may change wallpapers, choose music (including a shuffle option), and change card reverse pic. Resolution is sharp in the wallpapers. The cards themselves are a little hard to read, but it's a very small image!
Still and all, there are a lot of negatives, so I decided to keep looking.
Stop here if you don't want to read about the game I found and love!

As long as I was hunting again, I decided I wanted something that had more game variety than just solitaire card games (which is why CG had looked so attractive).
If I had known about "TouchMaster," I wouldn't have bothered with SO at all!
TM has plenty of games for the solo player, including several card solitaires. In addition to very good, concise on-screen instructions, there are instructions for each game in the liner notes in the case (yea!) that are well-written and lucid.
Has a wheel-of-fortune type (this has only 6 categories, alas, so repetition happens pretty quickly), word search, etc. Several card games will help you brush up your 11, 13, and 21 addition facts. Some games are strictly chance; others involve varying amounts of skill and strategy. You can read elsewhere in detail about the content.
All games are stylus-activated. A big plus.
I must have spent 6 hours with this software tonight. (Yes, I should have been grinding on my lengthy to-do list, but I just couldn't resist. I'll probably play some more after I finish this review!)

Forget SO. Use your $ for TM. You won't be sorry you passed on SO. Compared to TM, SO is a non-starter. (I can't get the "star" rating to change to 1 star. Imagine that I was successful in this quest.) mb

This game is well worth the $$. With over 105 games (who knew there were that many?) you will never get bored. I was addicted to Spider Solitaire on the PC and now I can play that on the go. So many variations of games! When you click on a game it will show you the layout and the skill level and your chances of winning.
Forget brain games, this works at keeping your mind strong. I highly recommend this one!
